Congratulations to Aaron and Jhoana, our newest Keys to Success participants!
Aaron is a recent graduate of Building Futures. He learned about the program while the Genesis Center financial coach worked with him and his classmates on budgeting and building credit. Aaron improved his credit score by almost 100 points while saving in the Keys to Success program. This vehicle purchase will help him continue his career as an electrician.
Jhoana learned about the Keys to Success program through the community engagement team at ONE Neighborhood Builders and knew right away it was a great opportunity. She needed to save for a reliable vehicle that would accommodate her growing family. Making a plan and saving up for a larger down payment helped her family get a newer car while still keeping their monthly payment affordable.
Keys to Success is a matched savings program that allows low-moderate income Rhode Islanders to save money for reliable transportation. Thank you to our partners and funders- Pawtucket Credit Union, Harbor One Bank, and The Rhode Island Foundation. If you would like to learn more about the program please contact Chris Ackley at cackley@gencenter.org
